Thank you Yagen :)

The below suggestions highlight why internet searches can be harmful to people. Unfortunately, the likelyhood is that with stage 4 (Dukes D) colonic cancer, there will be no curative treatment. It has spread to other organs, most commonly the liver, but also the lungs and potentially the bones. The latter two are less common, but are more common in rectal cancers.

Treatment options. Most of the time the primary bowel tumour will be removed, mainly to prevent the chance of obstruction of the bowel, which can obviously cause major problems. At the operation, the extent of the liver mets will also be assessed, sometimes using intra-operative USS, other times just manually feeling the liver. If there is a solitary lesion, or multiple lesions in one lobe of the liver, then there is a chance of curative treatment.

An MRI will usually be performed as it gives finer detail of the liver and ensures there are no other smaller mets not visible on CT or other modes of imaging. Post bowel surgery, normally give chemotherapy (several regimens available) and then re-scan to see if the liver disease has changed in the interval. If it is still deemed operable, then hepatectomy may be possible if there is enough residual liver left.

If as is most often the case, liver surgery is not possible, then post resection chemotherapy will be offered, with the hope of improving the survival.

If bowel surgery is not an option, then palliative chemotherapy will be offered, sometimes with radiotherapy depending on the site of the tumour, and the symptoms.

Let’s face it – my family and I are F-A-T.

Any diet plans/books that are specifially geared to families trying to diet?

Do you know of any diets that might be helpful for our situation?

it should help..

I dont know a good diet,
and I’ve tried, but I cant commit myself to it.
I need help, but yeah. I dont know what to do.
I want to loose wight badly, and fast.
Im not able to buy anything like that berry stuff.

There are a few things you can do to lose weight fast.
1.) Diet. Not THAT kind of diet, but one you can actually live with. If you want chocolate, eat it, but not much. If you are hungry but feel like you can’t handle the calories, eat something filling but very low in calories. Spinach is a great food for this.

2.) Exercise will help tremendously. Do what you can, but I recommend at least 30 minutes a day. It doesn’t have to be all together, either.

3.) Supplements can take a huge load off your shoulders. The right pill can boost your metabolism and cut appetite, making it much easier to stick to that diet. A few bucks now could make the whole difference.

Good luck!

How can lose weight and see results kinda fast?

I am 13 and i wanna lose some weight. How can I lose weight fast but in a healthy way? please help me!!!
I have looked up tons of ways to lose weight and when i try them it never works. I just want to be able to fit in my favorite jeans again. lmfao but seriously. yeah i really need to lose weight.

go wheat free. No pasta, pizza, bread and so on. And no food after 7 p.m. People achieve marvellous results with it. Depending on your initial weight, you can drop upwards from 20 pounds a month. If you don’t eat wheat then you don’t eat all those sticky, fatty goey cakes, you don’t eat junk food, and you don’t eat biscuits. But your diet is still balanced. It costs nothing, and you do not have to calculate points or to buy special meals or plans.

How does this colon cleanser work?

I’ve heard alot about it, I’m skeptical and wonder if it gives you the runs when you do it or gives you the bloats. I’m curious about what you will feel like before it actually starts to work. When is the best time to try it, My job requires driving and just pulling into a gas station is not an option.

It is better to take Colon cleanse during the weekend.Colon cleanse eliminates toxicity from the body and boosts your energy levels. It removes bloating and enhances your digestion.Colon cleanse also aids to lose extra weights.http://www.coloncleanse.net

Just eat about 4 fig bars every day. Those little buggers’ll set you free, keep you flowin’ and goin’. I eat ‘em all the time, and I am loose as a goose.

I had a baby about 6 months ago, and I can finally diet and exercise. I have about 15 extra pounds of nasty fatness sitting on my stomach and thighs right now and want to lose at least 5 of it by the 26th of this month. So if anyone knows of any diet or certain exercises that will work quickly, it’d be a HUGE help. Thanks.

DIRECTIONS:

When you are on this diet, you may not use any other seasonings EXCEPT for Salt and Pepper. Also, you may drink either Water or Diet Soda or Tea with artificial sweetener. However, make sure that you drink at least 9 glasses of water per day in order to aid the flushing process that your body will be going through. Also, DO NOT SNACK throughout the day. Also, you may substitute Tune for Cottage Cheese or vice versa.

When you do this diet, you will be "on-diet" for the three days, and then you will take three days off, and then repeat the process until all your excess body fat has disappeared. MAKE SURE you take those three days off! When you are off of the diet, than you are able to eat anything that you want, however, eat moderately. Also, when you are dieting for the three days, keep your exercise routine to a minimum, due to the fact that your energy level will be lower than normal for the first two days.

As with all diets and weight loss routines, you are going to need to listen to your body. If you are feeling overly weak, or lightheaded, eat something. Everybody is different, so please, be careful with yourself. Below is a grocery list for you to print off:

GROCERY LIST:

Coffee
Tea – cold or hot
Artificial Sweetener – HIGHLY recommend All Natural Splenda.
Grapefruit
Bread – Whole Wheat
Peanut Butter
